Persian Cress
Organic Cress Seed
Product ID: 3399G
Productive, easy-to-grow greenery.
Airy, yet sturdy branches filled with tiny seed pods that resemble silvery-green coins. Grew faster and taller in our trials than Wrinkled Crinkled Cress, which is also used as a cut flower filler. We recommend multiple plantings about two weeks apart for continuous harvest. Persian Cress leaves are edible and have a mild, peppery flavor. Also makes a nice salad green. USDA Certified Organic. Ht. 36-40" Avg. 12,300 seeds/oz. Packet: 200 seeds.
